There is. Two EU countries adopted EN15194 at its introduction, France and the UK. Now with the Great Repeal Bill writing all preceding EU law into UK law, that is permanently the case unless and until parliament acts to change it. .

Well the prediction which was repeated only today on the news says different. Considering how many homes we are already short, we really do need a major home building program to start immediately. The building rate can always be slowed down later if trends show differently, and there's no...

But we have to build them, and as usual Jeremy Corbyn is right. It's reckoned that we will have a population of 75 millions in 2050, that's 10 million more than now in 30 years time. Corbyn's 100,000 a year adds up to 3 million in 30 years, exactly what the extra 10 million people will need...

No, it's too far away from where real people live, until it's full of the new homes. .

There's loads of space, most of our land mass is owned by the very wealthy, often in their vast estates, some of which we can confiscate. .

Because tonight's episode from Bolton appears to be restricted to nonentities. .

That's not true. Both the Tory party and the Labour party have many Leave supporters who will switch to voting Brexit if given the chance, but only the Labour ones will have that chance. Given the large proportion of marginal constituencies, that is a gross distortion and very far from...

Not so, worldwide experience in all countries shows that as living standards rise, the birthrate falls. It's those who keep the masses poor who result in excessive births, i.e. the Tories. .

Actually it's Farage and time that ensure that anyway. Farage has scuppered any chance this time by switching only the Labour Leavers to Brexit. And Corbyn's age will rule him out for the following GE five years later. .

Agreed, my post was an inverted way of saying don't worry about any of those things while alive, just enjoy. .

Living of course, it just makes imminent death ever more certain. We're all better off dead. .

The best way then is to buy an extra battery when you buy the bike. I've ridden with three batteries at times, one in use and one in each pannier. That way you can have more range then you really want to use in one ride. .

The battery capacity in Ampere-Hours (Ah) can be increased as much as you like to increase the range, even having two identical batteries in parallel to double the range. What you must not do though is increase the voltage to make one break the assist speed limit. In addition there is a...

There is no active enforcement. Manufacturers are expected to make their bikes compliant with technical standard EN15194. The way that is worded actually allows much more than 250 watts anyway, machines only have to capable of continuously delivering 250 watts and exceeding that isn't ruled...

It's very likely the noises are the tyre rubber creaking against the rims. The dynamic pressures of the solid rubber tyres against the rim walls is nothing like that of inflatable tyres where the pressure is the same in all directions. If the noises are of a squelching or hissing nature, it...

I think it's usually best not to argue a point of law until actually up against the CPS or a senior court, especially not with a police officer if stopped for any reason. Acting the polite and respectful innocent generally pays best. .

This last bit is the point though, if they are not working at full output due to Parkinson's Law, more staff are needed. And I've seen plenty of examples of minimal output and staff duplication in the NHS. .

Not true, you are forgetting Parkinson's Law: Work expands to fill the time available for its completion. A proverb coined by the twentieth-century British scholar C. Northcote Parkinson, known as Parkinson's Law. It points out that people usually take all the time allotted (and frequently...

He's referring to those discussing in this thread currently. It's why I'm out of it until sanity returns. .

But that bandied about opinion is what I disagree with. If that was legal, why would the example of the law I posted earlier include individuals getting single vehicle approval? The DfT have been making a mess of the law in this area ever since 10th November 2003, and they know it. In my...
